Pat,
Since receiving your email I have had a long play with the source clipboard
and I now agree it is not working as it should. In fact the edit detail
facility doesn't seem to be working at all. I would have noticed before but
I have, in fact only used it (the paste and edit bit) to change pictures
usually of censuses and I hate to think how many of my files now have the
wrong census picture attached to them. Thank goodness I don't publish the
pics!
I still don't think it should work in the way you expect though and I am not
sure I would want it to, but it certainly needs sorting.
Meanwhile, as the original master source is held on the clipboard until it
is changed, I will avoid using the copy/paste since it works fine otherwise.
Ron Ferguson

The point, Ron, is that when copying from the Event Clipboard you don't
NEED to click the bar icon-- and clicking it can goof things up if you
have a different source on it.
BUT when you paste from the Event (with source) clipboard and have told it
to prompt for the detail, it DOES NOT PROMPT, and IMHO it SHOULD prompt.
